Google services such as YouTube and Gmail started the week with an almighty bang as their cloud came crashing to the ground today (Mon 14th Dec 2020).
Despite an insistence from the company's various health dashboards that all was fine and dandy, it most definitely was not.
Those seeking distraction in video form were treated to YouTube's "Something went wrong..." monkey, while others wishing to express their disquiet via Gmail were shown a 502 code or a suggestion to try again in five minutes.
Problems seemed to start at around 11:30 GMT. At time of writing YouTube was inaccessible, Gmail was borked, Drive was down, image search failed (unless an error code was what you were looking for), and Docs didn't seem happy.
Google is no stranger to outages. Pretty much everything from GCP to G Suite fell over into a heap back in August.
